After trying to post a asterism and an interrobang in the shout box, I was shocked to find that the shout box posted them as question marks. Here is an interrobang: ‽. And here is an asterism: ⁂. I would not be surprised to learn that other characters are un-postable. I hereby complain about this, and request that all of the greatest computer technicians of the world come together to make sure that all forms of punctuation are available to everybody whilst at the shout box.

"Ohh it's too hot turn the cold up"
"ohh Coronation Street is on at 8:30 now not 7:30, how do they expect me to stay up all the way to 8:30 at night!"
"ohh damn young kids these days, back in my day once you turned 14 you were shipped off and thrown onto a beach under German machine gun fire!"
"bring back the cane!"

I can kind of intuit an interrobang as a ?! combo, though I could be wrong. That's either an emphatic question, or specifically a not-question, possibly rhetorical. Can you clarify?

Also, what unique meaning, please, is an asterism meant to indicate?

You won! An interrobang is exactly that, (?!) but everyone seems to not know of it's existence. An asterism is a nearly obsolete punctuation that is used to indicate minor breaks in text, call attention to a passage, or to separate sub-chapters in a book. Here's an example of a way Absols might use it:
